The Two Adams

In this sermon from Romans 5:12–21, Pastor Byron Chesney contrasts the legacy of the first Adam with the redemptive work of the second Adam, Jesus Christ. He explains that through Adam’s disobedience, sin entered the world and brought death to all mankind, infecting every human being with a sin nature and condemning all under judgment. Adam acted with full knowledge, unlike Eve, and his sin had generational consequences. But where Adam’s fall brought death, Christ’s obedience brings life. Jesus, the “last Adam,” undoes the curse by offering righteousness and eternal life to all who believe. Though all are born in Adam, only those born again in Christ will escape condemnation and reign in life through Him.
